Welcome to Visanthe

The only thing Savara knows for certain is that she doesn't belong... anywhere.

Stripped of all memories of her childhood and robbed of the last remnants of her unorthodox family, Savara is left to fear the lonely nights in the darkened house whose walls contain as many secrets as they do cobwebs. But something in her soul tells her she doesn't belong here-doesn't belong anywhere. Her only salvation? A best friend with his head stuck in history books and a mercenarcy from a foreign land who claims he has come to take her home. 

Savara is whisked away to a world of fantasy in which elemental magic reigns supreme and where shadows are spirits of the past and keepers of long-forgotten secrets-her secrets. As she fights to regain her missing memories, she uncovers a deadly truth that threatens to plunge the world into darkness. Worse still, it's all her fault. 

Armed with this terrible understanding, Savara must hide her true nature at all costs or risk hurting her newfound family and the one she loves most, but the clock is ticking and the enemies draw near. A ruthless mafia don on a revenge crusade. A secretive apprentice with a hidden agenda. A cruel military dictator. And of course... the Prince of Shadows himself. 

The shadows of the past have awakened with a thirst for blood. Will she be able to stop them from devouring everything in their path? Or will she fall victim to her own demons? Sadly, if her quest for meaning has taught her anything, it's that not all fantasies are dreams come true, and that the truth is most often paid for in blood. 

PERFECT FOR FANS OF... Erin Morgenstern, Leigh Bardugo, Lynette Noni, Victoria Aveyard, and more. This young adult epic fantasy is more than just your average coming of age story.
